Step 3: remove the tab from the new reservoir

Before you insert the new reservoir, you should remove the aluminum tab at the top of the new reservoir. Remove the entire protection film. If you don't do this, the TwinDos reservoir might not connect properly. This is likely to cause detergent leaking into the washing machine.

Step 4: insert the new reservoir

Now that the aluminum tab has been removed from the TwinDos reservoir, you can insert the reservoir in the right spot. Insert UltraPhase 1 detergent on the left, and UltraPhase 2 on the right. Press the reservoirs firmly. You can switch to refill reservoirs too. You can purchase these separately and use them with your own detergent or fabric softener.

Step 5: close the cover

When the TwinDos reservoir is placed correctly, you can close the cover. Your Miele washing machine will now ask if you've replaced UltraPhase 1 or 2. Tap 'Yes'. The next question will be whether you used a different detergent. Choose 'Yes' if you switched to refill reservoirs. Isn't this the case, choose 'No'. Your Miele TwinDos bottle is now ready for use.
